I have been reading a lot of posts here lately, and I have learned a few things, quite a bit really. This is an amazing network of friends, co-workers and the alike. I have had laughs as well as the urge to vomit a few times reading some posts. You can call me an ass or mean, I really don't care. This is how I see so many of the common things discussed on Arborist Site really broken down:
1. You probably need to learn how to put an edge on a chain before you keep going on about what a saw needs in mods. It's the biggest and cheapest mod you can do, run a freakin' hot chain.
2. Don't be afraid to let people believe what they want. Just don't preach it like it's the gospel when you know you have no experience or working knowledge of the matter.
3. Leave the old timers alone. They didn't get that far in the business from being hacks and/or ignorant.
4. If you say the saw is heavy, put it down. You have no business running it. Cutters run big, heavy, powerful saws for 7 hours straight. We can, probably because we are a little tougher than you. Sorry, just a fact. Maybe we'll meet in the woods if you don't agree.
5. Try to be an equal oppourtunitstic a-hole. Don't be shy about spreading the love around.
6. The 361 is manna from Heaven for a lot of people. It's a good saw, and they are reliable, but it is just a powersaw at the end of the day.
7. Don't let pride stand in the way of your pursuit of knowledge here, or in the field. "Pocketing" someone's advice or little tricks will benefit you and save you greif.
8. Hardhats are a no-brainer.
9. AS is a brotherhood. Some of the best fights and/or arguments are with family
